ABOUT THE ROBOTS
We pre-assemble the robots to maximise the teaching and learning time with children.
ABOUT THIS CAMP
This face-to-face camp has been designed for children to enjoy, have fun and learn. Our face-to-face Coding & Robotics camps are small to enable tutors and children greater scope for interaction, dialogue, questions and answers. We motivate children to develop their, coding, programming, mathematical and scientific skills while having fun. We also stimulate children to be creative. We teach children to learn how to identify a problem and look for a solution. Sometimes, some children tend to give up easily. Therefore, we teach children that they need to try for alternate solutions to a given problem.
WHAT WE TEACH
Learn and consolidate fundamental concepts and key vocabulary related to coding and robotics. We encourage children to explore how the use of programming, coding and mechanical engineering are applied in real-life situations. We encourage children to understand how computer science works and how computer science impacts our daily lives. We also motivate children to develop problem-solving skills, teamwork and resilience.
TOPICS INCLUDE
Robot Navigation, Writing a Quiz, Hands-on with Electronics, The Micro:bit, Lifting and Placing Objects, Sensors, Actuators and Microcontrollers, Graphs and Patterns with Turtle, Systems of Measurement, Conversions, Pick and Place Challenge, Robot: Colour Race, Robot: The Ultrasound Sensor, Playing with Numbers, Flexible Shopping Basket, Power Sources, The Micro:bit and Business.
DIFFERENTIATION
At Richer Education, we understand that ‘one size does not fit all‘. Therefore, our tutors and mentors differentiate the content of our sessions. We ensure that all children, regardless of their level of knowledge, are engaged at the appropriate level and pace.
